An article in the NYTimes quotes Representative J.D. Hayworth of Arizona to the effect that same-sex marriage is equivalent to "taking the rights and protection of marriage and handing them out willy-nilly."
You mean they don't now? I looked it up: the highest hurdle to getting married in Arizona is the fifty bucks for the license. There's no residency requirement, no waiting period, no blood test. Proof of divorce or widowhood isn't required. As near as I can tell, if you're over 18, you can marry anyone you want to as long as the two parties are unmarried, over 18, and not too closely related. And of opposite sexes, of course.
Fortunately for me, Hayworth represents the next district over.
